Frequently Asked Questions
How is overtime calculated?
Overtime is typically calculated at 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for hours worked beyond 40 per week. For example, if you earn $20/hour and work 45 hours, you get $20 × 40 = $800 regular pay plus $30 × 5 = $150 overtime pay.
Should I include break time in my hours?
No, unpaid break time should be subtracted from your total hours. Enter your break duration in minutes for each day, and the calculator will automatically deduct it from your work hours.
What if I work different hours each day?
Simply enter the start time, end time, and break for each day you worked. Leave days blank if you didn't work. The calculator will total all your hours for the week.
Can I use this for biweekly pay periods?
This calculator is designed for weekly tracking. For biweekly periods, calculate each week separately and add the totals. Note that overtime is typically calculated weekly, not biweekly.
